  • Page 23: Call Procedure

    ‘ ‘ Call procedure When your system employs tone signalling (excluding CTCSS and DTCS), the call procedure may be necessary prior to voice trans- mission. The tone signalling employed may be a selective calling system which allows you to call specific station(s) only and prevent unwanted stations from contacting you.

  • Page 24: Transmitting Notes

    CONVENTIONAL OPERATION ‘ ‘ Setting squelch level The squelch circuit mutes the received audio signal depending on the signal strength. q While pushing [PTT] and [Lower], turn the transceiver’s power on to enter the squelch adjustment mode. w Push [Upper] to increase the squelch level (tight squelch) or [Lower] to decrease the squelch level (loose squelch).
